Narrowband spectrophotometric observations of outer-belt asteroids have been used to investigate the surface compositions of the D- and P-class asteroids. Spectra of 19 outer-belt asteroids and 2 main-belt D-class asteroids were obtained using two charge-coupled device spectrographs. The spectra can be divided into four groups based upon four discrete slopes among the spectra. All of the outer-belt asteroids are locked into orbits controlled by Jupiter's gravitational attraction. The distinct slope changes suggest that these asteroids are the remnants of a gradation in composition of planetesimals in the outer Solar System.
